Summary
Dedicated and passionate early childhood educator with a strong commitment to providing quality care and education to young children. With experience as both a head teacher and a qualified teacher, I have had the privilege of leading and contributing to nurturing and inclusive learning environments. My approach centres on collaboration with families, fostering open communication, and creating nurturing and responsive environments to meet the unique needs and interests of each child. I have a comprehensive understanding of child development principles and am adept at curriculum development, team leadership, and regulatory compliance. I am now seeking a new opportunity that offers a better teacher-to-child ratio, a homelike environment, and a stronger focus on quality care. I look forward to continuing my journey as an infant teacher, bringing a deep passion for early childhood education and a commitment to creating a positive impact in the lives of children and their families.
